@Zacharee1 what do you mean choose an avatar? I have one.

yay

TheXed

12:40 AM

by the way did you make those?

because I would like it in 1600x900 so I can use it for my wallpaper

Kaz Wolfe

@TheXed 1920x1080 scales down perfectly to 1600x900

TheXed

yeah but it is 800x600

Kaz Wolfe

no, it's 1920x1080

or do you mean the uboonto things?

Aaaand another shooting in Downtown Denver, but this time seems like a guy targeted a specific woman , then shot himself .

Yay, for gun violence /smh

Kaz Wolfe

give more people guns. less gun violence.

Thomas W.

this seems to be an ongoing trend in your city. perhaps it's time to build a bunker and hide? :)

Kaz Wolfe

wait, Denver is becoming Detroit?

Serg

@ThomasW. perhaps it's the time to move the F out of there . . . And it used to be such a quiet place :/

Thomas W.

perhaps

Serg

Sorry , for the ping. force of habit . I'll try to avoid that

Thomas W.

TheXed

Just remember there was a person that pulled the trigger. The gun was just a tool.

Kaz Wolfe

Serg

That's exactly what I am afraid of , not the guns, but the people

Kaz Wolfe

gun control is about as useful as knife control. which is about as useful as screwdriver control.

And then there will be demand to ban water because water can drown people

Serg

1:03 AM

@KazWolfe how many people can you stab with a screwdriver ? compare that with a gun that can pop several bullets into crowd

Journeyman Geek

@Serg depends on how sneaky you are

Kaz Wolfe

@Serg Let's see... If you get behind someone and drive it through their neck, probably a good amount

You can also use it to [REDACTED UNDER PATRIOT ACT], causing [REDACTED UNDER PATRIOT ACT].

Serg

@KazWolfe Replace orlando's shooter's assault rifle with screwdriver or a knife . . .

Kaz Wolfe

Or you can just [REDACTED UNDER PATRIOT ACT] and incapacitate them, and finish them off by [REDACTED UNDER PATRIOT ACT].

Thomas W.

Or, [REDACTED UNDER MULTIPLE FEDERAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS], then [REDACTED UNDER MULTIPLE FEDERAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS], and then, [REDACTED UNDER MULTIPLE FEDERAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS]

Kaz Wolfe

1:06 AM

Alternatively, just wrap some wire around it, string it up in a cobweb-esque net, and jam it in to an outlet near an exit.

People touch it, [REDACTED UNDER ALL OF THE LAWS]

Thomas W.

The most evil though, is t- *shot*

anyways, enough fun for me, good night all

Kaz Wolfe

1:11 AM

@Serg I can name a bunch of things that can

Most of which can be found in your house.

TheXed

@KazWolfe just having a Cisco anything sitting on your lap should be enough to kill most people.

on initial setup it told me that some iwlwifi and rtl files were missin

but then I installed the packages via usb: packages.debian.org/jessie/all/firmware-iwlwifi/download packages.debian.org/jessie/all/firmware-realtek/download

the /lib/firmware is now populated

so rebooted

but ifconfig still only shows lo

is there anything else I should have done?
